My new Juki tl2000qi is sewing the begining of the top thread into the beginning bottom tlstitches. Does anyone know how to stop this from happenong or why it is?

  1. Needle: The needle may not be installed correctly, or it may be damaged. A bent or dull needle can cause thread tangling and result in the beginning of the top thread getting sewn into the bottom stitches.
  2. Threading: The threading could be incorrect, or the thread tension may be too tight or too loose. Check the threading and make sure it's correct, and adjust the tension as needed.
  3. Bobbin: The bobbin may not be inserted correctly, or the bobbin case may not be installed properly. Make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly and the bobbin case is properly installed.
  4. Needle Plate: The needle plate may be damaged or not properly aligned. Check the needle plate and make sure it's not damaged and that it's properly aligned.
  5. Upper threading tension: The tension in the upper threading may be too tight or too loose. Adjust the upper threading tension as needed.

My needle will not stay threaded. Should I reset the tension? When it begins to sew lots of thread comes out and the thread becomes very loose.

Not sure if this will help, but is worth a try:

Remove the top thread from the machine (NEVER pull the thread up--ALWAYS clip the thread by the spool, raise the presser foot, and pull the thread DOWN through the needle from the thread tail end).

**ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning. Verify the thread path is correct.

Test your machine and see if the top thread reels out smoother. If needed, adjust the top tension until the top & bobbin threads meet in the middle of the fabric.

My Pfaff grand quilter 1200 keeps bunching up the top thread on the bottom side of my quilts. I've replace the needle and thread. It won't pick up the bobbin thread. Could this be a timing problem?

Remove the thread from the machine. (Always raise the presser foot and pull the thread up, NEVER down!).
Install a brand new needle.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading.
Rethread from the beginning and verify the thread pathway is correct.
Set the upper tension to midway between High & Low numbers--you may need to tweak this for your particular machine, but this is a standard starting point.
Confirm the bobbin is loaded and threaded correctly in the bobbin case.
Begin sewing slowly. It helps if you begin sewing with the needle in the uppermost position.
Test on medium weight woven cotton.

If it is still not picking up the bobbin thread, then it most likely is a timing problem. You can search the internet for web sites and videos regarding sewing machine timing or take it for service.

How do I get my Elna 7000 to sew as when I thread the needle and start sewing - the thread is somehow pulled out of the needle?

If you haven't already, install a brand new needle. Be sure to use good quality thread--no old stuff or bargain bin variety.

Remove all the thread from the machine.

Raise the needle until it is at the highest point it will reach before it begins to lower.

RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning--verify the thread path is correct. Pull at least 5 inches of thread tail through the needle.

Check that the bobbin is installed correctly.

Set the upper tension to somewhere around the midway point between high & low number.

When you begin to stitch, gently hold both thread tails with your left hand and begin stitching slowly to start.

Top thread keeps coming out of needle. How do I thread top thread?

Be sure to pull at least 4 to 6 inches of thread through the needle's eye before beginning to sew. Pull the bobbin thread up to the top of the fabric BEFORE beginning to sew.

How and Why to Bring up the Bobbin Thread (This works for regular everyday straight stitching too not just design stitches.)

Then, BEFORE taking the first stitch, hold both thread tails with the left hand and then slowly begin stitching. After a couple of stitches, let go of the thread tails and continue to sew.

If you need instructions on how to thread your machine, search the internet for a manual:

Make + Model + the word "Manual"

or look for videos on YouTube to help with the threading process.

Keeping the thread in needle when you begin to sew

after threading the needle pull about 6" of thread out the back under the press foot
that way the thread is jammed under the foot and is held in place for the next thread
bobbin thread should also be out the back
when you have finished sewing then lift the foot and move the material sewed about 6"" away from the foot before cutting the threads

Won't stay threaded

Do you mean the upper thread is pulling out of the needle eye when beginning to stitch? If so, make sure you pull at least 6 inches of thread through the needle's eye before beginning to stitch.

If the upper thread is breaking, then it is either threaded incorrectly or the upper tension is too tight.

Why won't thread stay in the needle?

Is the thread pulling out of the needle when you first begin to sew? If so, be sure you are pulling sufficient thread through the needle at the outset--between 4-6 inches. You can also try bringing the bobbin thread to the top before beginning to stitch.
